There's a lot of pressure in the media and in Hollywood to stay young, with sex appeal being tied to age. At Huff/Post50 we know that age is just a number, not a barrier to being beautiful, sexy, powerful or ambitious. And we've got the inspiring, kick-ass women to prove it. Their words of wisdom will make you feel empowered by aging.
Cher: “I do think that when it comes to aging, we're held to a different standard than men. Some guy said to me: ‘Don't you think you're too old to sing rock n' roll?’ I said: ‘You'd better check with Mick Jagger’.”
Jane Fonda: "With age, I am able to appreciate the beauty in small things more than when I was younger perhaps because I pay attention more."
Sophia Loren: “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”
Celine Dion: "There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty."
Audrey Hepburn: “And the beauty of a woman, with passing years only grows!”
Brigitte Bardot: "Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it."
